Unsolicited opinion - I really want to be optimistic about Martin but he doesn’t look very instinctive as an outfielder. He’s athletic but makes things look difficult out there. Contributing to the perception that this is really a defensively challenged team sans Correa and Buxton. 

Gordon looked awful at first too. Hopefully he'll get better.

[Patzky]

Tonkin at the Gulf.

[Aggies7]

Umpire just handed out a few strikes there 😂

Not really. Inefficient pitching, rough fielding, no hitting.

Farmer's range, measured via the same scale as glaciers, comes into play yet again. That's three already this game.

But he's right handed!. This front office signed him to play SS! Unreal

[Patzky]

Guessing Tonkin will be down for Varland to be up Wednesday.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Okay, let's go bats.

[OvertheHill]

Good for Tonkin.

Twins need all the help they can get tonight.

When your batting order wears 50/82/92..

Agree.  Great talent too many demons.

[Peter]

Bats need to wake up!!! 2 innings to get 2 runs to win. 

[Patzky]

[Aggies7]

Ouch. 

[Linus]

Goodness sakes Tonkin is slow to the plate 

[OvertheHill]

Twins offense “relatively quiet”. 
I’d say. 

[Peter]

Come on!! Top of the order coming up-make it happen!!!

[OvertheHill]

Tonkin doing his job, for as long as he has it. 
 

These things matter.

Yep. If he comes out for another inning that will tell you he will be dfa tomorrow 

[Patzky]

Jeffers is not living his best life this evening.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Wake up, bats!

[Linus]

Geez the Rays have a better defensive SS than Cabellero?

[OvertheHill]

We really need the Ryan Jeffers lead off experiment to end. 

[CRF]

Just one terrible PA after another. Saying they're anemic would be giving them too much credit. 

[Aggies7]

Ugliness

Tonkin maybe has nothing to do with the Twins, but the Twins do not ask their pitchers to use a slide step. 

They have come out and said stolen bases are a lower priority than the batter. No slide step, no pitchouts, little attention to baserunners. 

It's an organizational philosophy.

I might not know much about this baseball stuff, but I'm not even remotely in favor of that philosophy.
